Her loveliness, the velvet of her lifting eyes the wonder of her trusting soul the wonder of her unearthly selfless sweetness! "It was always the same kind of marvel every time you saw her," he said boyishly. "You couldn't believe there could be such sweetness on earth until you saw her again. Even her eyes and her little mouth and her softness were like that.
I didn't want to thrust myself on you. any of you!" "You never did," he said wonderingly. "You? Why, there never was anybody so reserved, so shy, almost. That's one reason I love you, I guess," he said boyishly. "You mustn't love me." "Will you marry me?" he repeated. "Oh, I know; it is like asking an angel to come down out of heaven " "An angel!"

Poor old Barney Bill has been past helping you this many a year." "But I owe everything to you!" cried Paul, boyishly. "If it hadn't been for you, I should still be working in that factory at Bludston."
